David is honestly the best. If you have any apprehensions about attending a 'magic show', get rid of them. Not only is the magic mind-blowing, but David's crowd work and energy make the performance an absolutely amazing experience. His humor is second only to his capability as an entertainer (and only by a tiny margin). If you're looking for something out-of-the-box to do with a group/company/organization, you cannot go wrong with David Gerard. read more

I've seen David twice, and both times I was spellbound. How does he do it? I watched so closely (the second time in particular!), and I just don't get it. Despite being a card-carrying skeptical scientist, I had to conclude that he really must read minds! He's also funny, charming and truly just a pleasure to watch. He knows his audience and adapts accordingly, which makes every performance unique. I can't wait to see him again! read more

Saw his show at PianoFight (via GoldStar). He's like a mental version of David Copperfield. :) read more

This is an experience that you cannot miss! I've been to David's show before but he just managed to surprise us once again. David is such a talented magician, comedian and also a fabulous performer. The show along with the space that was nicely set up created the immersive experience that you just cannot miss. I invited 10+ of my friends to David's show and they all love it. Highly recommend it! read more

David is a true professional and an amazing performer. He was amazing to work with and even better to watch as he walked around the room entertaining small groups at our lunch. Our boss is still talking about some of the tricks that David did and we can't wait to work with him more! read more

saw david a year ago and loved him when the new year started he sent out an email blast saying that he was working a new show for the year with new material my friend loves magic so decided to surprise him by taking him to see david's new show before his bday dinner.. we loved david's new show just as much as his last one. the theme of this show is game night. it was pretty cool and only made one mentalist trick mistake this time around. if you like magic or looking for a fun, cheap activity date, go see his show. i'll continue to see him whenever he has a new show. read more

We have seen David perform on a few occasions (his shows are also fantastic) and were thrilled when he agreed to perform at our wedding. One of our wedding guests said that hiring David for the cocktail reception at our wedding was the best idea I had ever had. His table-side tricks were absolutely AMAZING and he was one of the highlights of the day. For our event, he did a few tricks at each table during the cocktail reception--it was a great set-up. He wasn't cheap, but was completely worth the splurge. Thank you so much for making our wedding truly magical. read more

Amazing magician. I wasn't super excited walking into a magic act but I was blown away by not just the range and skill but also David's comedic sense. I can't recommend this show enough, a very fun night out. read more

David came to perform for our private party for about two hours. We had 30 or so guests, ranging in age from 5 to 60. David was the out-of-the-park hit of our party. He walked around and performed up close and personal for our guests (1-1 and in small groups) and did an absolutely phenomenal job. Not only was the magic amazing, but he's really funny and really cool -- people enjoyed just getting to know him and having him be part of our party. Our friends and family are still raving about his performance. I cannot recommend him enough for your private events. Book David -- you will not regret it! read more

I saw David a few months ago and was SUPER impressed. I've worked in the resort/hospitality industry and have seen magic shows around the world- but I can honestly say that David was the best magician, performer and entertainer. He was witty and sharp, made relevant jokes and comments, and read the room carefully. I think every person walked out of the room shocked, confused (by how awesome the magic he was), and still wanting more. The part that blew my mind is that we ran up to him afterward, and he was humble and loved honest feedback. No wonder he's so awesome- he truly knows how to listen and continue challenging himself to get better every show and performance. I want to see him again soon! read more

Entertaining, amazing and will blow your mind. Saw him last night at the Dragon Theater and he did the impossible .... I'm sure of it!

David is an incredible entertainer, he is good spirited and enjoyable for guests. I would highly recommend using him for any type of event/party. read more

Probably the best mentalist I've ever seen! Because it's a small venue you have a good chance of being chosen to volunteer, and the ticket price is super affordable. It really does seem like he can read minds! There were also some other magic tricks but not many, it was mostly mentalism, but mind bogglingly good. I will come again for his new 2017 show! read more

Just an extraordinary and mind boggling show! David is very talented and his show is not only entertaining but charming, witty, and funny. We had the pleasure of having David at our company dinner and our group of about 50 was blown away. It's all we could talk about at the office the next day! I loved how he got everyone involved and asked for a handful of assistants. He had a variety of tricks and took card tricks and mind reading to the next level. If you are looking for a world class entertainer, I highly recommend David for any company events, parties, or occasion you may be planning. Thank you David for a fantastic show! read more

More people need to know about this guy! His tricks are great and he's really charismatic. I love the incorporation of pop culture references and the slight self deprecation. Worth every penny and more since it was cheap at pianofight. If you're in SF and need something for a Wednesday night, he is it read more

David Gerard put on an amazing show! He blew my mind with his ability to read what people were thinking and the crazy tricks! He has a great sense of humor and will have you laughing the whole time! I would definitely see his show again! He got exactly what I was thinking of without a doubt!! read more

Great performance!!!! I would definitely recommend him to any group looking for good entertainment. His mind tricks will blow you away and leave your group smiling read more

I hired David for our 50 person retreat that is for 6 days and 5 nights. He was the only outside entertainment we used. He roamed for the dinner, and then did almost an hour show for us. (it is very rare for someone to be able to do both of those well) It was fantastic!!!! Our guests continued to talk about him for the remainder of the retreat, truly astounded and perplexed about how he could have done the mind reading/magic he performed. He was an enormous hit and made me, the organizer, look so good! Our attendees thought he was equally as funny as he was an amazing magician. Everyone couldn't stop asking me how I found him and if we could have him again next time we held the retreat. He was professional, timely, excited, kind, and remembered every single person's name from the minute he walked in the door until the show ended. You won't be disappointed if you are considering hiring David. read more

He performed at Google, and he really owned it. His tricks are very unconventional. I don't know where they found him, but I'm up for another show. Bravo. read more

I saw David this weekend at the dragon theater and had such an amazing time. His mind reading skills will blow you away. I mean how did he know I was thinking Justin timberlake?!? read more

I saw David last night and he was able to blindly tell me information listed on my drivers license. I'm still amazed. The intimate setting allowed him to incorporate a bunch of people into his show, which was great. Definitely got our money's worth. Keep up the good work, David!! read more

I've seen David Gerard three times in three different venues within a year and each time been amazed at his talent and ability to engage his audience. My companions were equally astounded by his perceptive and diversionary skills and his great---NOT HOKEY---presentation. His "repeats" from performance to performance were very few and in no way detracted from the delight of his entertainment. Highly recommended!!! read more

Wow, I really do not know how to describe David, to say Magician almost seems like an insult, because there are no cheese-ball rabbits being pulled out of hats, although we did witness a flying rabbit. His show of mind manipulation for lack of a better description is definitely on a higher plane than most everyone.He is truly a world class showman and performer and I am so glad we got to see his show. Truly exceptional. read more

We spent the weekend in SF and caught a 9 pm show at the Marikesh featuring. David Gerard. He was fantastic! Small theatre, intimate setting and mind blowing entertainment. read more

I've seen David perform his stage act a few times and have always been really impressed. I run a digital marketing conference and hired David to do roving close-up tricks during our party. He was a huge hit, with all the attendees astounded and delighted with what he showed them. He was great at allowing me to introduce him to a few key groups that I wanted him to perform for but was really comfortable wandering and finding folks to entertain. I have heard many people commenting on how fun it was to see him and how impressed they were last night. A real pro that was affordable and easy to work with AND he really delivered a great experience for our attendees. read more

It's not often that you get to revisit the wonder of being a kid again. David's show not only stretches the imagination with extremely talented magic, he's a natural performer that takes you into his world. From elaborate storytelling magic to close up magic, you'll absolutely leave the show gasping "How did he do that!?" for hours. We laughed constantly and were blown away by the magic...all around a night to remember. If you're lucky enough to grab a ticket to one of his shows, you'll see what all these 5 star reviews are about! read more

We hired David for a corporate event held at a private residence. In all honesty it was all very last minute and I was little worried but the moment we started working with him the whole team felt as ease. There were about 200 people around the large property but it was easy to tell where David was at all times because there would be a crowd of people huddled around him. The magic is engaging and wows you over and over. David is amazing at what he does, and is a true professional. We will certainly ask him to come to our events again and would go see his show anytime. read more

David came to our team corporate event and performed for 45 minutes. Blew the entire room away -- he was smooth, professional, funny and absolutely mind blowing amazing. This isn't your typical magic show...it's fast, mentally stimulating and will leave you saying "Wow" and "No Way" out loud at least a half dozen times. My team is still talking about how in the world he could possibly do some of the things he did. I certainly don't know. But I'd go see him again and again. If you're planning an event, I'll add that he's reliable and very easy to work with. read more

Hands down the best magic experience I have ever been a part of. He's able to connect with everyone in his audience, make them all feel like they are the single person in his presentation. Nicest guy ever by the way, great for private events! read more

Have had the pleasure of watching David over the last several years at multiple events and multiple venues. Every time he just gets better. Such a great mix of incredible talent, comedy and magic. I just can't wait to see him again. All the other reviews say it all. My most recent event with him was a birthday party for my husband at a country club with over 100 people there. He had trouble with a mic and just handled it and kept on going, very professional. Without exception, all my guests were completely blown away. They all had such a good time seeing him. I was really happy because my guests will always remember "that party" in large part due to David. read more

David rocks! Coolest thing I have ever seen. Would go again to just watch him do his mind magic. Huge skeptic usually, not anymore. There was no way this could have been set up in advance. Had whole audience engrossed in his performance. Also great sense of humor while he was doing his performance. He is awesome and you have to go see him! read more

David Gerard is as good as it gets -- he wow'ed our whole corporate audience during an event. Everyone was blown away! I'd highly recommend him. read more

David made our company cocktail hour so memorable! We had one hour and in order to make sure that all 350 guests had a chance to see great walk around magic, he partnered up with another magician. He handled all of the booking, which made it very easy for me, and they were both great! Our guests were from all over the world, and they raved and were amazed with the illusions they saw. They made the hour so entertaining and it definitely was a highlight of the day! I will definitely book David again and hope that next time we have more time to include a show as well, as I (and I'm sure the others) would love to see it. Thank you, David, for being so professional, engaging and amazing!!! read more

This was our second time watching David perform, and just like the first time, we were speechless and simply amazed with his magic. He came over to our house and performed in front of 8 people. He is great with big groups (as I witnessed the first time I saw him), and he was fabulous with our smaller, more intimate setting this time. All of his reviewers speak the truth; his mind-reading tricks are jaw-dropping and leave you speechless. Just as--if not more--impressive, is David's ability to make on-the-fly jokes and keep the crowd smiling and laughing. You'd want him at a dinner party even if he weren't doing magic! read more

Went to David's show for the first time and could not have had a better time! Great combination of humor, story telling, and obviously...magic. He engaged at least half of the audience in some very direct way and had everyone absolutely in awe. I've already sent his information to our company event planner to perform for the our whole team! read more

Amazing - we had a corporate outing to see David, everyone loved the show and days later were still talking about it and wondering "how did he do that...?" I would highly recommend going to his show, it is highly entertaining. I can't wait to go again. read more

David is a rockstar. I first met him when he co-taught a group of my middle school students a Current Events class for 10 weeks. He was engaging, warm and challenged them to think about the world around him. David later performed magic for our students in Redwood City and he was highly professional, creative and humorous. I later went to one of David's shows in Palo Alto and was impressed and floored. My friends and I couldn't believe how he was able to do all of his tricks. His connection with the audience, wit and talent was outstanding. If you're looking for a professional, creative, energetic and talented magician, look no further than David Gerard. read more

David is special. He has worked very hard to perfect his craft as an entertainer, and it shows. Nobody else does mind-reading quite the way he does. If you see him perform in a smaller venue, you will no doubt become part of the show, as he has developed a wonderful rapport with his audience. This is a don't-miss performer. read more

Saw him last night in SF at the Marrakech Theater and he was AMAZING! The tricks he performed were absolutely mind-blowing! He has great humor and stage presence. It was a very intimate setting, which made it even more pleasant. And although he was up close and personal, we still couldn't figure out how he made these tricks happen - right in front of our eyes!! My husband and I would DEFINITELY recommend David Gerard! You won't believe your eyes! We can't wait to see him again! Thanks, David, for making our anniversary night so much more special and one we will never forget!! read more

We threw a Halloween Eve Masquerade Bash for 70 of our friends. This was an all-adult, formal event and David was the perfect addition -- or should I say main attraction -- of our event. Everything about David exudes professionalism and top tier elegance. I found him via a Google search for "magician not cheesy"! And David certainly delivered. Booking him for the event was simple and his prompt responses put my mind at ease. He showed up on time for our event, was approachable and gregarious from the moment we met, and was dressed perfectly for our event... professional and classy. And the magic? Let's just say our friends are still talking about it and scratching their heads. He did "strolling entertainment" for our party and it was so fun watching him delight our guests from room to room. My husband and I are already discussing the next party just so we can book David again. You will not be disappointed in the slightest. David's the real deal. read more
